The Ducking feature in the Audio Inspector is going to save me a great deal of time. Up until now I've spent so much time making manual adjustments to be sure my narration could be easily heard over the music that's supposed to stay in the background.
I'm also most relieved to learn the Picture-In-A-Picture effect. I can't even begin to tell you all the awkward steps I went through to get this effect in a previous video I did for MLT class. I somehow pulled it off but didn't think I'd be incorporating it much in the future. This way is so much simpler!

Here's my little sample project:
((Sorry! Will add soon!))
My Lynda.com iMovie training is complete! Call me silly, but I find a certain amount of satisfaction out of being able to present this Certificate:
One effect that I was not able to try this time but am really looking forward to in the future is the Green-Screen effect. With this tool it's possible to import one clip right over the other to change the background. One of my classmates, Allen, who's great at photography, suggested we go out and but a cheap green plastic tablecloth to use. He claims it works great. I'm excited to give it a try in one of my future projects! Check back and let me know if you can tell when it's used!
I just want to say that your progress was well shown. I was so into the learning and working on it that I went through the tutorials, took breaks and fooled around with my own learning movie.
ReplyDeleteI along with you, am really glad to have the info given the way lynda.com did.
I'm also glad to show that I know how to maneuver in iMovie, to my wife and kids.
I watched each Chapter with my 2 kids. They are really excited to make videos for our family. My youngest kept saying, "Dad you can make movies of me playing baseball." I am going to explore more of iMovie by using the camera to create more 1 minute videos.
